Turver,

This is what I do and I don't use a script.... may not be what you want but might help you out.

1. Create helicopter (helo1)
2. Create move waypoint on helicopter then create the rest of your waypoints you plan for the helicopter
- In the activation field of waypoint type: helo1 flyinheight 1
3. Create Trigger
- Activated by Radio Alpha
- Activation field: helo1 flyinheight 30 (Pointed out by Ranger)  
- Sync the trigger to the first move waypoint

Effect

1. Helicopter will start its engines and stay on the ground till you use your radio command to activate trigger and allow the helicopter to fly its mission.

You forgot one detail, IW.  His chopper will now be flying at an altitude of 1, which for all practical purposes is landed.

In the trigger's On Activation field, add helo1 flyinheight 30, which will now make the chopper fly at an altitude of 30.  Replace 30 with whatever value you wish, preferably greater than 20 or 25 so that the chopper won't hit trees.

haha.... thanks Ranger I forgot about that one. Poor guys would have gone right into a bolder.
